A great day for a road trip with  44 fellow THS members to Woolwich, Clarksburg, Thornbury, Williamsford and Listowel. 

President Christine planned a wonderful, fun filled day! A day away from our fall gardens to enjoy the growing friendships with fellow gardeners. 

We visited St Jacob’s Farmer’s Market in Woolwich. Canada’s largest year-round market. With three large buildings and a lively outdoor market, it’s home to hundreds of local vendors offering farm-fresh produce, artisanal foods, handcrafted goods, and unique finds.  

We enjoyed the fall colours along the country roads in Grey County to a craft winery in Clarksburg. The Roost Winery offered wine tasting and spectacular views of Beaver Valley. A favourite white wine was “Two Wrongs Make A White.” Let’s just say a few bottles left with us. 

We enjoyed a lovely lunch in Thornbury at Corner Cafe & Grill with a little time for shopping in the downtown area. 

Desserts anyone?? On the road to Williamsford Pie Company for a heavenly piece of homemade pie! Their most popular pie is Lemon Raspberry Buttermilk. It was so delicious and enjoyed with a cup of tea and coffee. Many pies and desserts were purchased and headed home with us. 

Our final destination was dinner in Listowel at Veky’s International Restaurant. We were full and ready for the sunset ride home to Tillsonburg. 

Thank you Christine for well organized day. We all had a great time. 

Don’t miss 2026 bus trips, workshops, social events and interesting guest speakers at the general meeting. Join the Tillsonburg Horticultural Society at the November 4th General Meeting, 7:30pm Tillsonburg Senior Centre.
